thought that if the Spaniards did any tiling,
they would do something very complete and
noble. They have done so, and set a high
and stately example, to nations misunder
stood by their sovereigns. The same eleva
tion of spirit, which once made them the
most romantic people of Europe in the midst
of vassalage and superstition, has now in
consequence of the diffusion of knowledge,
and the experience of what nations can do
for themselves, rendered them the most chi-

Republic of Hayti.—The legislature of
this little Republic, has taken decisive
steps to preserve.its moral and physical
Strength unimpaired, by tire exclusion of
spirits of any soft. The enactment is
not exactly in the spirit of that universal
freedom commonly associated with the
id#a of a republic, and that provision
which allows one year to drink gin, has
an odd look of legislation ; but if the law
can be enforced, it will be the best law
in the world. We are surprised that
there is not more emigration of the co.
hired people in this country to this island,
after the warm invitations of Boyer ;—
where they might be citizens holding e-
qu tl privileges and entitled to respect,
tinder a well-organized government, a-
niong people of their own color,-and in a
mild climate, not unlike their native Af

Moxtrval, June 28.
It is somewhat surprising that none of the
Quebec newspapers have mentioned the ex
tensive and important fortification now in
progress in that city. We learn from an au
thority ofthe most credible kind, that nearly
tour hundred men arc daily employed in rai
ning and preparing the suite of a very strong
Work which is to crown that already formi
dable fortress. At noon and six o’clock P.
M. when the. workmen go to their dinners
and cease their labor, a whole scries of mines
•re exploded. The plan is said to he most
beautiful and defensive ; to commamLevery
approach; and to be projected by General
Mann and Col. Nichols of the engineers,
formerly in this country. It is to be carried
into execution without delay. This is as it
should he ; a constant readiness fur war lic
king the best means of preserving peace.
ROBERT GOURL AY.
The famous Robert Gouri.ay, who a-
ktrmcd the government of Upper Canada so
much a short time since by his political wri
tings and schemes, and who was imprisoned
and finally expelled from the province, is
jfcw in Scotland, where he, has published a
Statement of his case, and his determination
to apply to Parliament for redress. In re
ference to his imprisonment and trial, his
statement contains the following paragraph :
“ It was reported that 1 should be tried on
ly as to the fart of refusing to leave the pro
vince. A state of nervous irritability, of
which I was not then sufficiently aware, de
prived my mind of the power of reflection
On the subject. I was seized with a fit of
convulsive laughter—resolved not to defend
aucli a suit—and was perhaps rejoiced that
I might be oven thus set at libfrty from my
horrible situation. On being called up for
trial, the action of the fresh air, after six
weeks close confinement, produced the ef
fect of intoxication. I had no controu! over
my conduct, no sense of consequences, and
little other feeling but of ridicule and disgust
for the Court which countenanced such a
trial. At one 'nomont, I had’a desire to pro
test against the whole proceeding—hut, for
getting that I had a written protest in my
pocket, I struggled in vain to call to mind
the word protest—and in another moment
the whole train of ideas which led to the wish
had vanished from my mind. When the
verdict was returned, that I was guilty of
having refused to leave the Province, I had
forgot for what I was tried, and affronted a
juryman by asking him if it was for sedi
tion ?
rue Tutory of Dreaming.,,, A M r . An
drew Carmichael has started a very in
genious theory of dreaming. He ‘enu
merates no less than seven different states
ol sleeping and waking :
1. When the ititire brain nnd nervous
system are buried in sleep ; then there
is a total exemption front dreaming.
2. When some of the mental organs
arc awake, and alt the sens*, are asleep,
then dreams occur, and seem to be —
alities
3. H hen the above condition exists,
and the nerves of voluntary motion are
also in a state of wakefulness, then ntny
occur the rare prenomenon of somnam
bulism.
4. V\ hen one ef the senses is awake,
with some ofthe mental organs, then we
may be conscious, during our dream of
its illusory nature.
5. When some of the mental organs
are nsleep, and two or more senses are
awake, then wc can attend to external
impressions, and notice the gradual de
parture of our slumbers.
6. When we are totally awake, nnd in
full possession of all our faculties and
powers.
7. When under these circumstances
we are so occupied with mental opera
tions as not to attend to the impressions
of external objects: then our reverie
deludes us like a dream.

MILLEDGEYIt,LI., Tuesday, hoove,' 1.
(£7* Wc beg leave, to return our thanks to
“ A Subscriber” (who appeared in the last
week's Journal) for his professions of good
wishes. While wc do this, we cannot but
observe that to ns those professions have
more of outward show than reulity. Vox ct
prateria nihil.—While wc agree with the de
finition of an independent press, as given by
“ A Subscriber” in his text, our ideas differ
very widely from his illustration of that text,
or we have certainly said nothing in either
ofthe remarks alluded to, to forfeit that cha
racter. If it lie essential to maintain that
title, to abuse Mr. Cobb and endeavor to de
prive him of the good opinion of the public
he has so justly earned and well merited, we
will candidly confess wc do not deserve it.
But if a determination to publish essays on
both sides of any question, written with pro
per decorum, leaving ourselves t'rei to
mark on the subject matter whenever we
think proper, give us a fair title to the dis
tinction of a free and independent press, we
boldly challenge an exception to that course
of conduct. In tho beginning ol'the news
paper controversy lately and still carried on
in relation to Mr. Col.b, wc unhesitatingly
declared our approbation of the public con
duct of tliat gentleman—yet we gave place to
the essay of “An Old Georgian,” accompa
nying it with such observations as we thought,
applicable. We then thought and still think
we gave strong evidence of the impartiality
and independence of our paper, and refer
“ A Subscriber” to those remarks with this
additional one, that tho controvery has only
tended to confirm us in the opinion of the
independence and ability of Mr. Cobb, and
of his zealous and unreraitted attention to
the interests of this, his native state, V e
think we gave further evidence that with us
“ the freedom ofthe Press should remain invi
olate," when, “ at the request of a subscrib
er” we published Mr. Siinkins’ Speech af
ter discontinuing the publication of the de
bate. There were other speeches besides
Mr. Cobb's on that question, certainly as de
serving of publication a» that of Mr, Sim-
kins. And while we say “ that few subjects
of more importance have occupied the at
tention of Congress," yet we again repeat
as we still believe, “ that the citizens of this
state do not feel any peculiar interest in the
sentiments of that gentleman," even upon
that subject.
Counsellor Charles Phillips, the
noisy, but sometimes eloquent, anti-mi
nisterial Irish orator, has lately been
purchased by the British ministry, by
being created Poet Laureat to George
the fourth. Thus whilst the govern
ment party chops off the heads of the
humble radicals for sowing the seed of
rebellion, they distribute, in the higher
walks of life, liberal rewards, to silence
those verv tongues that have mainly
contributed to set those poor half-star
ved wretches on : And thus the corrupt
Walpole’s aphorism is verified—“ that
every man has his price.”—ft asking ton

The Missouri Convention.—This bo
dy, wo observe, in a late St. Louis paper,
have determined the important question of
slavery, by prohibiting the interference of
the Legislature on this subject, further than
to step the importation of slaves for s ite.—
The following paragraph we hat e copied
from the St. Louis Enquirer.
“ The committee appointed to draft a con
stitution for the state of Missouri, reported
on yesterday. The article, which will be
first inquired after is to the following effect ;
The Legislature shall have no power to ma
numit slaves except oil condition of paying
their full value to their owners; it shall have
no power to prevent emigrants from bring
ing their slaves into this state: it shall have
power to prevent slaves from being brought
to Missouri to be sold as merchandize: per
sons who have been, or may be brought into
the United States in violation ol the laws of
Congress for the suppression of the foreign
slave trade, shall be free on arriving in the
state of Missouri; their posterity likewise:
the right of jury trial for offences above the
grade of petit larceny is secured to slaves ; it
is made the duty of the court to assign them
counsel when they have it not: if convicted,
to be published in the same manner that
white persons would be for the like offences '•
homicide, and dismemberment of a slave to
The Old Georgian in the prosecution of
his unfounded attack on Mr. Cobh, having
been convicted on evidence, which can nei
ther be met by effrontery nor evaded by pre
varication of wi ful misrepresentations or to
tal ignorance ofthe subject, seems in his old
character to have retired from the contest.—
But being unwilling to abandon his Excellen
cy in tile very aukward situation to which
he bad reduced hint, has very dexterously
thrown off his old cloak and stripped on a
new doublet, fur the purpose of avoiding in
his new character the necessity of replying
to the facts urged against him in Ids old.—
Perhaps I may be mistaken in thus identify
ing the old gentleman with the “ Son of
Georgia” who has lately obtruded himself
on the public notice ; bill if they he not one
and the same individual, the one is really
“ —— “ so like the other
“ As could not be distinguish'd but by numes ”
They are both equally virulent in their per
sonal abuse of Mr. U.; equally hold in tueir
assertions without the slightest proof offered
to support them ; they seem both to believe
that Mr. C. was fully apprised that the Pre
sident intended to make his communication,
and that the Native’s have attempted to
“take fame from where it wa justly due. Ik
plaee it where it was not deserved.” If Mr.
Cobb really did know of this fact about the
message, and had so little regai d for iiis cha
racter as to jump up and anticipate its con
tents just before it readied the In use, these
writers m justice to the public ought to state
how they obtained tlieir information, for if
Mr. C. is capable of such littleness of cha
racter, strange as they may think it, 1 would
not only abandon his defence on this occa
sion, hut I would exercise the. little influence
1 may possess to prev ent his re-election.—
But I know they have no moro'grounds for
this assertion than for thapraiscs which they
have so lavishly bestowed on the Governor.
As I have already examined at large his pre
tensions to any merit to be derived from the
management of this business, it will be un-
necess.,rx to repeat it here, the public is eoti-
\inced they are totally unfounded, and con-
sei; ently that il was impossible for Mr.
Cobb to s eal that from the Governor which
lie never possessed. It has already been
shewn too, that this subject could not with
any propriety have been urged in Congress
since Mr. Cobb Took his seat, except at the
last session, and that the delay which then
attended it, was in consequence ofthe Go
vernor’s not having forwarded the retnou
straoce oftlie Legislature. The supposition
then of the “Old Georgian” that “ it must
be a subject of regret to Mr. C’s particular
friends, that his zeal should have slu inhered so
long," and his assertion that “this subject
should have occupied Iiis attention at an
earlier date,” Ike. tic. being totally unsup
ported by tacts; the Son of Georgia tak
the opposite extreme, and says, that Mr. C’s
conduct in anticipating the President’s re
commendation, and the rtupl ton oj'the me
morial, must be considered to say the least
of it, indelicate, officious indiscreet, there
by hazarding the success of that important
measure, had not the public, mind and Con
gress been previously prepared for it, and
that the. memorial was sent on in all neces
sary and the only proper time,” Here then
Mr. C. is first charged by the “ Old Georgian
with neglect of duty in not bringing the sub
ject before Congress at an earlier period,
and secondly by the “ Son of Georgia” with
hazarding the success ofthe measure by in
troducing it too early ; and lastly the Gover
nor is not only justified but commended by
the “ Son of Georgia” for delaying this bu
siness as long as lie did, which, in the opini
on of tiic “ Old Georgian, was with Mr. Cobb
a crying sin. If these two gentlemen cannot
agree between themselves, with regard t<
the true cause for rensuring Mr. C. how can
they expect the public will agree with either
of them ? Now, lor my part, 1 think Mr. C
happened to hit exactly the right time, for
if he had not waited for the memorial until
there was no hope of its arrival, he would
have been too soon with his motion, and if
he had suffered the appropriation bib to
pass without inserting it, he would have
been too late : he therefore waited until the
hill had been read tile second time, ami its
provisions discussed, and that being the Iasi
opportunity, lie offered his amendment—the
bill was read the, third time the next day, the
tilth of March, passed, and sent to the Se
nate. Tlie Investigator says, the memorial
left Milledgeville on the loth, consequently
it could not have reached them before the
2)th or s:oth. if therefore Mr. C. could have
known the very day on which it would have
arrived, and had waited lor the event, in all
reasonable probability, he would have been
too late with Iiis motion, for although I be
lieve it is true, that in consequence of sonic
amendments to the bill made by the Senate,
it did notjiniilly pass until after the memori
al arrived; yet its return from the Senate
was an event which could not have been
foreseen either by Mr. Cobi> or the Gover
nor. But it is further said, that “ Mr. C. had
no just ground to believe tiie memorial would
not be forwarded in due time.,” independent
ofthe fact that it had not arrived when the
hill had been twice read and discussed, which
most men would think sufficient evidence,
tliat it had not been “ forwarded in dot
time.” i take the liberty of referring.any
person who wishes to obtain correct infor
mation on this subject to either of our mem
bers of Congress—let him enquire whether
there were not several conversations among
themselves with regard to the cause of its
detention, whether there were not several
applications to the President to know if hr
lai friend of the Governor's, the gentleman
who drafted the remonstrance, to know why
it had not been forwarded, mid whether his
reply was not in substance, that on looking
over the journals ho perceived it wasuut
made the duty of the Governor to forward
the document, and c.xperted that this was
the cause of the delay, for the truth of this
latter fact, I appeal to the candor of that
gentleman himself. This information deri
ved from such authority, connected with
the fact of the. non arrival of the document,
seems to me to afford some “ just grou.nl to
believe that the memorial would not be for
warded in due time.” Again, the Son thinks
“ none but the hireling tools of faction, or
the slavish sycophants of Mr. Cobb w ill con
tend that Ibis affair should have been obtru
ded upon the attention of Congress at a time
when that body were, engaged upon mutters
of great national excitement,” fee. I have
heard nobody as yet say that it ought, but I
have said and I repent it, that the memorial
ought to have been sent to the persons de
signated in the resolutions, and let them have
judged of the proper time to introduce it,
and I should like to knotv if there was any
greater impropriety in " obtruding this sub
ject on tho attention of Congress, than in
obtruding the favorite resolutions of Iiis Ex-
coilency which he scut to Mr. Adams on the
19th ot January, and to which he called Iiis
attention again on the ibid of February : w as
there no excitement ill Congress at each of
those periods ? If the Governor really held
hack the memorial on this account, he ccr
taiuly acted very strung) ly in forwarding his
rtsolutions : for “ Investigator” says, his Ex
cellency “ considered the subject of them as
having so intimate a connexion with that of
an extinguishment ol Indian title to lauds Tor
Georgia, that they were at the same time
pressed by him on the attention of the Pre
sident." Besides this inconsistency, it it) not
a little curious and amusing to trace the his
tory ofthe Governor’s defence* on the sub
ject of the memorial and remonstrance. The
Old Georgian stated positively that previous
to Mr. Cobb's motion “ Governor Clark had
pressed the claims of Georgia on the notice
of the President of the United Status, with
the memorial nnd remonstrance." This be
ing acknowledged by “ Investigator" not to
he the fact, it became necessary to remove
the mystery which enveloped the. subject,
and assign the reason why it had been with
held. This was the task of that very impar
tial gentleman, who armed with all the do
cuments of the Executive chamber, informs
us that “ although there w as no particular
request by resolution or otherwise to the Go
vernor to forward tho remonstrance, yet it
teas forwarded to tile President, Ike the
10th of March, w hich was considered in due
time,” fir. This being considered insuffici
ent, as it did not reach there ill due time, the
“ Son of Georgia" then mines out and says,
the. reason it was held hack was, because it
was “ inadmissible on correct legal construc
tions, unsupported by sound principle, and in
the harsh language of complaint charging the
government with partiality, and that it could
but prejudice the just claims of Georgia,”
tic. The first asserts that the Governor had
sent on the memorial ; the second that lie
had not done it, because he was not requested
toduit; and the third says that it was not
sent, because it was harsh, inadmissible, and
unsupported by legal construction. To s’ucli
pitiful evasions and contradictory assertions
nave these writers been compelled to resort.
But which ofthose gentlemen, if either, can
the public believe ? Not the “ Oi l Georgi
an” for he is not only contradicted by the
facts adduced iu my last .communication,
but also by both of his fellow laborers. Sup
pose then we credit the “ Investigator” w hat
does lie prove? That the Governor was
guilty of no crime indeed in withholding the
remonstrance, but that he is so grossly igno
rant of the duties of iiis office as npt to know
it was the business of the Executive to see
the laws and resolutions of the Legislature
carried into effect. Now us unqualified as
lie may be to till the office which he holds,
tins evinces a degree of stupidity of which
none but his friends would ever have charg
ed him, and nlthnugli I do not exnefjy cre
dit it, vet his friends ought to know him
better than Ido. If the “ Son of Georgia.''
lias assigned the true reason why the me
morial was not forwarded, will il reliftie his
Excellency from censure ? It it was unsup
ported by sound principle, too harsh iu its
language, Sac. why did lie approve of it ?—
why did he not put his veto on it ? He seems
from tile journals to have held it under ad
visement from the lrtth to the i2d of De
cember, u period sufficient in all conscience
to have discovered ils defects. But admit
this discovery was nut made until after the
adjournment of the Legislature, is it indeed
true the Governor has I he power to deter
mine w hether an act which has received the
most solemn sanction of the Legislature
shall or shall not lie curried into effect, ore
veil to fix the period when this shall be done?
Of what service to the state has this rcinou-
strance been ? None, for the Governor With
held it until it was too late to lie of any ser
vice, for it has never been laid before Con
gress. From whence docs he derive the
power thus wantonly to sport with the mosl
solemn acts of the Legislature ? Are the
members of that body prepared to listeD
with complaisance to so gross a libel on
their understandings, and submit w ith pati
ence to so bold a violation oftheir rights ?—
Will the people tamely look on and see the
measures adopted by the Legislature in fur
therance of tlieir just claims, thus thwarted
by the Governor to subserve his own parly
purposes, because In: happens to differ from
them in opinion on the policy of the mea
sure, or because their laugxurge may not
happen exactlv to suit his taste ? If the Go
vernor or his friends are satisfied with «ueh a
justification of his conduct, I am perfectly
content they shall enjoy all the consultation
to be derived from so mat terly an exposi
tion. I believe every hone,t mao, whether
the political friend or foe of Mr. Cobb is per
fectly satisfied that hi' has been suilty of no
impropriety on this occut ion, and that the
clamor raised against hint is a hold attempt
to write him down, in furtherance of the
views of a particular party ; but should then
be any who doubt the liropriely of bis con
duct, I refer them to ific other members of
Congress, all of w hom voted with him, and
two of w hom, Messrs. Abbot and Cuthhert
spoke in support of his motion; they are
fully acquainted with the history of this
transaction, and can, and I have no doubt
will relieve him from censure. The Old
Georgian and the “ Don” have stated that
this measure met with no opposition, as usu
al they either wilfully misrepresent or make
the assertion, witlnvit knowing any tiling of
the facts. In the National Intelligencer of
the 19th March, the proceedings* of the
House of Representatives of the preceding
day are given, in which aflcr mentioning the
renewal of Mr. CTs motion, the reporter re
marks “the motion was supported by Mr.
C. at considerable length, and also by Mr.
Cuthhert and Mr. Abbott, nil of Georgia ;
Messrs. Rhea, Livi rmnrc, and Campbell al
so engaged in thu debate.” I have adverted
to this circumstance not on account of its
importance in relation to the subject tinder
discussion ; but to prove that it may be tru
ly said from the presence of these writers.
‘Jugiunt pudar,vi rumour, Jtdegqut." 1 have

engage iu a newspaper contest of mere per
sonal abuse; nay, I will not even retort tlieir

FROM THE SPANISH MAINE.
A gentleman w lio left Kingston, (Jum.) on
the tilth nit. has favored its with a file of the
Kingston Chronicle to the Oth: and with the
subsequent verbal intelligence.
It will be observed by tile extracts which
we have made from the papers, that the Pa
triot forces under Col. Monlillo and Admiral
Brmn, whohml some time since taken pos
session of Riu di la Ilaehe, and advanced in-
ln the interior, being sorely pressed by the
Royalists nnd Indians, (about 1900 strong)
md in want of provisions, were obliged to a-
dopt a retrograde order, and again retire to
the sea coast. When within three miles of
Rio de la Ilaehe, the Patriot forces, amount
ing to 709, faced about, attacked, and com
pletely repulsed the Royalists. After the
act ion, 300 men of Gen. Devercnux’s legion,
demanded their arrears of pay,*(not having
received a dollar since they arrived) which
w as refused—inconsequence of which, they
declined to act any further against the ene
my. Brioo immediately ordered them into
the town, took away tlieir hhiis, and forced
them to embark oti board of several neutral
vcVsi-ls hi the harbor, mostly from Kingston.
The following day, Rio de la Hanltc was
given up to plunder, the fortifications blow n
up, and the remainder of Urion’s forces em
barked on board ofliis fleet, which sailed im
mediately (after plundering two or three A„-
1Uerican vessels in port, ot their cargoes of
provisions, Jac.) for Margaritta or St. Domin
go. The Royalists then marched iu and
took possession of the plaee. Dcvereaux’s
men put to sea at the same time with Brioo,
nearly destitute of water nnd provisions—
and one ofthe vessels, having on bnHrd about
150 ofthe number, mostly officers, arrived
at Kingston on the Oth u!t. in the greatest dis
tress imaginable; without clothes, and with
out money. The commanding officer at
Port Royal, in roiMcquenre of their distress,
had allow ed I lien* to land, and assigned some
vacant barrack* for lliiir temporary resi
dence.
Tims has terminated the operations of
that ove whelming expedition, which aflcr
taking Rio de In Murhe, was said to have
been joined by thousands ol'the inhabitants,
who were in full march for Santa Martha
and Maracaibo ; after taking which, they
were to unite with Bolivar, in tin: reduction
of that important, nnd hitherto deemed im
pregnable fortress of Cuilhageua.
It is a proof of the rapid increase of
population ami health of the transuioun-
tnne slate, that a typr-fnindcvy has been
established at Cincinatti. There was pre
viously one in operation in Pittsburg.
It is believed the first successful attempt
to establish n ty pe-foupdry in America,
was made less than thirty years ago ;and
now tiiis manufacture is branching out
among our mountains, aud will soon
pretul over the Prairies. It may be
proper to add, that one foundery, even a
mall one. is adequate to the supply of
lilly or more country printing-offices,
with the necessary quantities of type.

late residence near Fort Jackson on Monday
morning lust, in the fortieth yeorof hi* nge. Iu
his death the loss sustained by his friends ami
relations is immense, that of the slule irrepara
ble. He has acted towards her ns « father—lie
was wholly devoted to her interest aud tlie pro
motion ol her happiness. His labors have been
attended with no iiiconsideruble success, and
Ids fellow-citizens know how to duly appreci
ate his patriotic ami benevolent exertions. It
is difficult to determine whether he shewn best
in public or private life; lie was no less belov
ed ns a neighbor than esteemed and admired a*
a statesman, lie was the private enemy ot none
hut the friend of all anil nearly ull were the
frie nds of him ; lie knew how to descend in so
